I have a recurring remote participation problem with the
IETF Meeting Agendas, because it specifies the time of WG meeting slots
in local time (local to the IETF Meeting), but does not give the
local time zone *anywhere*.

I would appreciate if the local time zone indication would be added
like somewhere at the top of the page, to each IETF meeting agenda.
So in this interesting discussion of UTC, Martin has actually made an 
excellent point.  Having UTC listings for the agenda would be very helpful, 
or an alternative agenda showing UTC.

+1. Given our high remote participation, I put UTC in the agenda for the MILE 
WG anyway (usually correctly, even). And given that the IETF often meets on 
one side or another of the DST change in local time, having an unchanging 
time reference would be helpful even for attendees.

UTC time *and* date please, for people in whichever hemisphere happens to be
opposite the IETF.
